In our columns of this day will be found a mass of highly important intelligence from India, confirmatory of the opinion which we expressed on Saturday relative to the probability of a war between Great Britain and Russia. We might speak with certainty of such an event in the case of any Power in the world but that of Russia ; whereas, knowing that she never strikes, if she can avoid it, till she has got her enemy at some disadvantage, we regard nothing as more probable than that she will seek to compromise matters for the present—now that she really finds Eng land prepared to assert the stability of her empire in the East. The prompt and manly policy of Lord AUCKLAND, to which we may yet have to ac knowledge ourselves indebted for preventing the CZAR from obtaining possession of Herat, under the nominal sovereignty of MAHOMED SCHAH, may possibly im press the Cabinet of St. Petersburg with a conviction that the time has not yet arrived for stripping Great Britain of her Indian Empire. In that case, Russia will not hesitate an instant to declare that she has ever been among the most faithful of our allies--that her dearest interests accord with the friendly promotion of those of Great Britain both in the East and West— and that as a proof of her sincerity she is ready to dis miss such of her agents as can be proved to have taken any share in disturbing our friendly relations with the Persian Monarch. She sees that by a succession of occurrences, for which, notwithstanding her diplomatic superiority, she was not prepared, that England has all at once arrived at a position which will enaVe her, by one bold stroke, to regain all the ground which she has lost, through the inefficiency of her Foreign policy, since the death of Mr. CANNING. But will our Government be gulled with professions which it must know will be only made to gain time ? Will Lord PALMERSTON so far forget what is due to the security of the British empire, and the peace of the world, as to rest content with professions, for the truth of which the discharge of a few spies is to be his only security ? Or rather will he not take advan tage of his commanding position to open the naviga tion of the Black Sea, and thus provide effectually against the future machinations of Russia in the East ? The question of peace or war is, therefore, likely to be left to the solution of our Government : and notwithstanding the difficulties in which our Ministers are placed by the state of affairs in Canada, we do think it probable that they may at last be brought to adopt a course which will restore England to her high moral and political position, both in Europe and Asia. Should Russia, however, drop the mask, our Government must not dream of acting, purely on the defensive, as suggested by a Minis terial Morning Contemporary. Such a course would be as dangerous as disgraceful. To give free dom to Poland—to render the Porte independent— to open the navigation of the Black Sea—to restrain, by our alliances with the Princes of Persia, the Asiatic extension of the Russian empire, should be the crown ing objects of such a struggle. To remain much longer passive spectators of the Oriental aggres sions of -Russia is clearly impossible, unless we are prepared to yield up to her the undisputed possession of our immense territories in the East. This is so well expressed in a pamphlet which has just appeared entitled " India, Great Britain, and Russia," that we have pleasure in quoting the paragraph : The truth must not be concealed that the British and the Russian nations are rivals for the possession of India—that the one ardently covets what the other holds, and has been long working by sap and mine to dislodge her enemy, and vault into the vacant seat. India will not, in the days of any living man, be independent—she will remain as she is, or she will from the mild and gentle rule of E ng l an d un d er t h e pass e i tvy and galling yoke of the Russian Autocrat. England may be supine, but Russia will most assuredly be active and unre mitting in her watchfulness and her labours. She will gloat in silence over the slumber of England, and abide in per fert resignation the brief delay which must intervene be fore her object can be avowed, which will not be till resist. ance on the part of her opponent is vain, and success on her own part certain. She will attach herself to every Court which approaches the British dominions, and thus draw round them a net through which escape will be impossible. If fortune favour her in the south the great rivers of Asia and the Persian Gulph may enable her to aid her views on India by a naval force. Russia never strikes till she has made sure ; and when she acquires confidence enough to relinquish dissi mulation, her victim may be regarded as lost. Shall Russia, then, carry on her designs against our Indian possessions to this point, or shall her arm be arrested while the probability of averting it yet remains? Shall we abandon India to the mercies of the spoiler of Poland? The answers to these questions given by Lord AUCKLAND, are all that the writer could desire. The march of 30,000 troops, to be augmented by a force of k:stween 40,000 and 50,000 'of the subjects of one t;f the most powerful of our Indian allies, is no dul:/:.;us answer to the concluding question of the above There is much in the ad v i ces f rom I n di a, paragraph. which we publish in another part of The Sun, to arrest the attention of the British people ; but being pressed for space, in consequence of the arrivals from N ew York and the Canadas, we are obliged to defer further comment upon them till to-morrow. The painful howl of the Times this morning against the Meath meeting and the Marquis of HEADFORT, is an infallible sign of great suffering. The Irish Church is emphatically the " raw" of the Tories, and the Meath meeting has applied the lash to the sore place. How happy would they be, if the people would only, according to the directions of the Times, " crucify their depraved reason and affections," and, resting satisfied with the Parsons' assertions, believe at once that the Church of Ireland is as divine and useful! as Mess•s. M'GHEE and O'SucLtvAN describe it. But the starving, ili-treated people car; nenthei be I scolded - nor bayonetted into blindness and submission ; and the Meath meeting, at which Protestant landlords have united with C-4itholic tenants to demand the total abolition of tithes, is the precursor of a more determined assault on the temporalities of the Church than they have yet sustained. We should be glad to see the landlords taking this part, if we were convinced that they would not be allowed to put the tithes into their own pockets, and at the same time maintain the Corn laws. We know that they neither can nor will con tinue to pay tithes, or rent charge in lieu of tithes, when the Corn-laws are abolished ; and we therefore have frequently thought that it might perhaps be ad vantageous to enter into a compromise with them, and release their lands from the tithe tax on the one hand, and on the other completely abolish the Corn laws. They might then make the most and the best they could of their land, and the Clergy would, no doubt, find an ample support, as the Apostles, of whom they are the successors, did, from the voluntary contributions of their faithful flocks. The Catholic priests in Ireland, by relying on the voluntary principle are powerful and opulent. We would not object, even for the sake of getting the whole trade in corn perfectly free, and for the sake of relieving the land from an odious tax, to• burden the Consolidated Fund with a small stipend, if necessary, for each living and working clergyman till the end of his days ; but we are clearly of opinion that it would be an immense public advantage to get rid both of the Tithes and the Corn-laws. At present there are large masses of people in Ireland living on the worst kind of potatoes, which, taken alone, are the worst kind of fool ; and the whole nation would revolt at the idea of allowing the landlords to have the tithes, and at the. same time to retain the power, by the Corn-laws, of keeping the Irish peasantry in the lowest state of poverty. Most injudiciously and most unjustly, indeed, the Legislature did last Session sacrifice one-fourth of the tithes to the Irish landlords, while it resisted every attempt to modify the Corn-laws. If that fourth part have only whetted the appetite of the landlords for the whole, we should scarcely ob ject to allowing them to swallow the tithe on the condition of abolishing the starvation laws. Madrid Journals of the 20th instant have reached us, but, as usual, their contents are of very little im portance. Rumours wcrc afloat of a new modification of the Cabinet, but no accounts of a recent date had been received from the theatre of war. General SANZ was spoken of as the latest candidate for the War Department. By the American packet ship the George Washing ton, which arrived at Liverpool on Saturday, we have received New York journals of the 9th, and Canadian papers of the 7th inst., from which extracts will be found in another part of The Sun. We have received the whole of the Paris Journals of Friday and Saturday. The following extracts from them contain all the news they communicate of the slightest political interest : .6 MARRIAGE OF DON CARLOS. —Obeying the impulsions of my paternal love for the people whom the Divine Provi dence has deigned to confide to my care—desiring their feli city, and at the same time that of my family—deeply pene trated with the sublime virtues, the heroic conduct during the present circumstances, and the maternal care for the education of my beloved children (since the day the Most High called to him my cherished wife Donna Maria Francisca de Asia, Q.E. E. G.) by my very dear niece the Infanta Donna Maria Teresa de Braganza of Bourbon, Princess de la Beira, daughter of the King and Queen of Portugal, my august cousin and brother-in-law Don John VI., of Braganza, and Donna Maria Carlota de B , urbon, my beloved sister, and widow of the Infante of Spain, Don Pedro de Bourbon,--and after having obtained from the holy see the necessary dispensa tion, I decided on contracting an alliance with the Infanta, my truly beloved niece. The marriage ceremony having taken place on the 2d of February last, in the city of Salsbourg. where I was represented by the Lord in service, the Marquis de Obando, who, for that purpose had received my procuration, my beloved wife having happily arrived in these loyal and heroic provinces, I this day had ratified the canonical confir mation of my marriage, my sovereign desire being that the solemn act, which will fill the hearts of my subjects with joy, should be published with all the formality the circumstances and the times permit. "';Given at the Royal Head-quarters of Azcoitia this 20th day of October, 1838. " ' I, THE KING. To the Very Rev. the Bishop of Lean.' " ENGLAND AND AUSTRIA.—The Courrier Francais views the commercial treaty concluded between England and Aus tria in the light of a political alliance, of which that treaty is the prelude, and is of opinion that the 4th article, which as similates the harbours on the Danube, including Galacz, to Austrian harbours, implicitly stipulates the liberty of the navigation of that river, which the Russians pretend to have a right to open or close at their pleasure. The Whig Mi nistry, according to the Courrier, has made every sacrifice to attain that end. "If it did not appoint a Consul to Cracow, if it remained an impassible spectator of the spoliation and oppression of Poland, it was merely through courtesy towards Austria, the accomplice of Russia in the viola tion of the treaty of Vienna, and to prevent her again form ing► with the latter an alliance on the point of being broken off. The Courrier calls the Danube an " Austrian" river and the great artery of that empire, and thinks that " the natural course of events must ultimately bring about its settle ment between the lan, the Adriatic, and the Black Sea; that the treaty which places the free navigation of the Da nube under the protection of England and Austria birds the latter to adopt a new policy in respect of it ; that the moment the Austrian navy shall assume some impor tance in the Black Sea. the liberty of the Danube will not satisfy her, but she must have its possession ; that so impor tant a river, which serves as a medium for the trade of a hun dred provinces and 30,000,000 of inhabitants, cannot remain in the hands of two rival Powers ; that the navy of Austria in the Black Sea can never be a match for that of Russia, and that in order to dispute with advantage the liberty of the Black Sea, England, in virtue of the treaty, must lend her the aid of her fleets—a circumstance which must be productive of incommensurable consequences." MEXICAN BLOCKADE.—" We can positively state, that the Government has received accounts' from the coast of Mexico, which they refrain from publishing, because the news is of the most disastrous character. The yellow fever has made the most frightful ravages among the crews of the blockading squadron. Several officers, a surgeon-major, and upwards of one-third of the men, have fallen victims to the scourge. If is painful for us to alarm families who have relatives on board our vessels, but the Government must explain itself and pub lish the whole truth. It has already confidentially communi cated the death of a young officer carried off by the f. pidem y. This, however, is not enough ; every family has a right to the same attention, and all arc a prey to the nest lively anxiety." —National. The Moniteur thus replies to the statement of the Na tional : " The public will be able to appreciate the correctness of the National when they peruse the following details, extr h ac o - f ted from the reports of Captain Bezoche, up to the 30th August. The total number of sick in the division has amounted idshi- to 236, of whom we have lost one lieutenant, men, one cadet, and two sailors, making six in . t a w ll o Coat were quickly cured. The lieutenant allude the sick very few only were attacked with vodtruotinfi.aLmndAe Among thede S p a r i e n v t ai H lin ao g u f e e n v , er s . o nkcnoinosreerifureonmt Consequently, those than f f7 td t t m ig il u ie e sin w f h r o o s m e may rea,suine bosoms alarm has been so imprudently excite their confidence. All who have sustained a loss havebee made acquainted with it, and the rest will learn with although satisfac tion that the unhealthy season has passed, and that, nothing their relatives may have some risks to run, they have more to fear from the climate." The following news from Mexico is communicated to the Constitutionnel by its correspondent at Sacriticios, who writes on August 16th i--" Tee blockading squadron has been rein forced by the brigs Volt;ge nr , and Dupetit Thouars, and the Astree frigate, from Martinique. Although the Governor of Martinique authorized Captain Bazoche, our commander, to retain the frigate, she is, nevertheless, about to return, show ing that all intentions of a serious attack are abandoned, at least for the present. The periodical northern gales will pro bably compel us to relinquish the blockade, for every one is of opinion that so numerous a squadron cannot be left for more than three weeks or a month upon such a dangerous ccast as this. We cannot expert ,ink new proposals from the Mexican., as they are impatiently looking forward to the approaching bad weather. Extract of a letter of the 6th August from an officer of La Perouse, off Taninico, and received on the 25th inst. at Brest:—On the 1 zith July an American corvette, with ishich we had communicated on the 17th, infoi mcd us that she had learned at 1 ampico that a sciconer was landing her cargo on the coast, at ten leagues' distance from the town, and that during the night some boats went from the bar to the place where she was at anchor, and returned without cur being aware of their movements. We accordingly set out in the evening, and the next morning perceived a schooner and a gnat, which were endeavouring to make their escape ; but finding this impracticable, as a last resource they made for the coat, from which they thought we should be unable to dislodge them, as there was a heavy sea. We then got out our boats and hoig-boat. and, when the were T went into the one, another officer into the oth er . ( Ti rn rr near the ~ , rC. bleu dispersed th e i ndividuals as-em- '' , ea t d .. y arriving l 1 with a fe+l ' !S, and then sent some men ,n to burn the schooner, I kept off the Mexicans who at, approach. Asit was found i mposs i ble to burn the tempted to schooner, I ordered her masts to be cut down, and her hull to be scuttled, so that she soon filled with water. The same was done to the Mexican boat, after which we returned on board, and the following day were off Tampico. The schooner proved to be an American vessel, a fact of which the corvette was un questionably not aware when she denounced her." THE FRENCH ARNIY.—By a Royal ordinance just published 66,000 of the 80,000 men forming the contingent of 1837, are called into active service, viz., 39,000 men dispo.able on the first half of the contingent, and 27,000 on the second halt. TURKISH FLEET.—Extract of a letter from Constantinople of the 3d inst., quoted by the ifessager The English officers on board the Ottoman fleet speak in favourable terms of the progress made in the Turkish navy within the last few years, both in nautical skill and discipline. The principal want is a more scientific system of instruction for the officers. This, however, will saon be provided for, as a naval school is about to be established in a magnificent ship appointed for the purpose, and now moored off the arsenal. The Turkish officers placed on board the English ships, in the room of the English officers transferred to the Turkish men-of-war, cannot fail to learn a great deal, if indeed the measure does not produce de sirable political consequences, by establishing a permanent good understanding between the two nations. In manoeuvring the Ottoman navy is already very little inferior to the Russian. WCRTIIMBURG.—The new penal code for the Kingdom of \Vartemburg, which has oecupied the Second Chamber of the States for seven months, was passed on the 19th inst. by a majority of 62 against 28. The President then read to the Chamber a Royal ordinance pronouncing the dissolution of the States, and declaring that a new election should immediately take place. JASSY, OCT. 13 —The accounts from Southern Russia still continue to speak of the military preparations which are there prosecuted with unremitting vigour. Great activity is obsessed in the harbour of Sebastopol, and it appears that a squadron is to assemble in the harbour of Nicolajeff. Several Russian men-of-war have entered that port within a few days. Among them are one of 120 guns, two of 80 guns, and several smaller vessels. It is probable that these ships will go to the coasts of Abasia and Circassia, where the expedition that has been undertaken there during the summer is said to have succeeded in erecting no fer.er than four forts. BADF,S, OCT. 12.—Our Archbishop of Friburg has made a declaration to the Government that he finds himself under the necessity of following, like the Prussian Bishops, the Papal brief respecting mixed marriages. This step, which was not at all expected, causes a great sensation. —Leipsiy Allge meine Zeitung. The Wur:z-bury Zeitung says, " The statements published for some weeks past in several German journals respecting the marriage of a Russian Grand Duchess arc not confirmed."

The best parcels of new Wheat sold readily at 3s. to 4s. psz qr. advance on last Monday's rates Other qualities were proportionately dearer, and Fo reign obtains full 34. per qr. more than on this da) selntright. Barley all sold freely at Is. per qr. more than last quoted. Beans and Peas are each rather higher. There has been a better trade for Oats than of late, and this article is from 6d. to Is. per qr. dearer than last Monday. There is a fair trade for Flour at the late advance.

Lord Stanley returned to Knowsley Park on Tues day from Eton College, where he proceeded by railway to see his eldest son, the Hon. Edward Stanley, who was said to be indisposed His Lordship, however, found his son was only labouring under a slight cold, and lie therefore only stopped two hours at Eton, and travelled hack to Knowsley with all possible expedition, having been only eight and forty hours absent. Lady Stanley is on a visit to her noble parents, Lord and Lady Skelmersdale, at Lathom House. Lord Derby's health continues slowly to improve. His Lordship is obliged to be carried to his pony phaeton, or garden chair, not having recovered the use of his side or arm. A provincial paper states that a miller's boy at Delettes, near St. Omer, was a few days ago furling the wings of his master's mill, when the works were unexpectedly set in motion, and he was carried round 14 or 15 times ; but, having the presence of mind to shut his eyes, he escaped not only without any injury, but without even being made giddy !

On Friday morning, about eleven o'clock, as a cor poral and two privates of the Grenadier Guards, stationed at Charing-eross, were conveying to the barracks a drummer and a private of the same regiment, who had remained out during the night without leave, they were met by a woman who be gan by calling the corporal by various opprobrious names. When in the Broad Sanctuary, Westminster, the corporal threatened to strike her with a walking-stick which he carried in his hand if she did not desist. The girl paid no attention to his threat, and continued to abuse him until they had got to the corner of King-street, when the corporal turned round, and with the top of his stick, which had a large ivory knob, struck the poor creature a tremendous blow on the head, and she fell to the ground stunned, her face being immediately co. vered with blood. The people standing by called for the po_ lice, and the corporal was taken to the Gardner's-lane watch_ house. The poor girl was conveyed by two policemen of the B division to the Westminster Hospital.

DESCRIPTION OF HERAT, Herat, the Aria of the Greeks, is a very ancient city of the province of Khorassan, in Persia, but now constitutes the western frontier of Afghanistan, being situated on the high road from Persia and Tartary to Hindostan. It has elperienced all the advantages and disadvantages of such a position. It has been from time immemorial the route of 211 the caravans, and the depot of the commerce carried on between the three countries, by which its inhabitants amassed great wealth ; but it has also been the route of all the invading armies, and has been often plundered, sacked, and burnt. It was taken by Alexander, by Jingiz Khan, by Timour, by Nadir Shah, and many others. In the end of the fifteenth and beginning of the sixteenth centuries, it was the residence of Sultan Aboul Ghazy, fourth in descent from Timour, who ruled Khorassan with great reputation for thirty-four years. It was then in the zenith of its splendour; and the Persian historians are profuse in the description of its palaces, caravansaries, gardens, mosques, &c. It is now held as a viceroyalty by one of the sons or brothers of the King of Cabul, or Afghanistan. In the year 1783, this city was visited by Mr. Forster, who de scribes it as standing on a spacious plain, and intersected by a river, over which there are several bridges, and surrounded by numerous villages in the midst of plantations. It then pos sessed a considerable share of commerce ; and persons from all parts of the East were there to be met with. It has an extensive manufacture of carpets ; and some good horses are bred in the vicinity. Its revenues aro estimated at 4,000,000 of rupees per annum. The King of Persia is very ambiti ous of adding Herat to his dominions, and has sent an army against it. Long. 62.20. E., lat. 34.50. N. MONEY AND COMMERCIAL NEWS. CITY (THIS DAYj, TWELVE O'CLOCK . _ We have received the New Orleans Price Current of the ht October, which contains the following— " REMARKS.—The business of the past week, from the con tinual good demand for some articles of western produce, also for cotton and tobacco, has exhibited a much more animated appearance than we have noticed for some time past ; but a more general revival cannot be expected until there is a rise in the Western waters, such as will permit the passage cf boats to and from this city. In the early part of the week the weather was' very cool, and the last few days pleasant. The city still continues healthy. " Exchange :—Sterling bills have declined. The best sig natures were sold during the week at 11 per cent." The American Papers received this morning are not of that importance as was generally anticipated, as they do not bring anything of a positive nature respecting the Earl of Dunham . Addresses from all parts of Canada are pressing upon him to remain there ; in all probability by the next packet we shall receive something decisive in respect to the Earl of Durham's intentions. The accounts received from India of the warlike prepara tions, and the marching of a numerous army towards Caboul, to prevent the Persians or Russians from crossing the Indian frontiers, causes much anxiety in the City, and prticularly to tly,se who traffic to that part of the world. They are anxi ously waiting for another overland despatch to ascertain the movements of the Persians and Russians on learning that numerous British forces are assembling on the frontiers. THE FUNDS.

There are some por tions of agricultural produce, therefore, which even now can be exported ; and we are convinced that were it not for the Corn laws which enhance in a great variety of ways the expense of cultivation, we should again become a corn-exporting coun try. Those laws enhance the price of labour, of which the farmer employs more than any other capitalist, they enhance the price of seed corn, and they enhance the price of all the food he gives to the cattle, which are the instruments of cultiva tion. Every thing he or they, or his labourers consume, besides paying his profit, pays the increased rent to the land lords caused by the Corn-laws ; and but for this enhancement of the price of all he uses or consumes, he would be able to grow corn cheaper than the Polish serf or than the Russian boor. DEATH OF ALDERMAN .ATKINS.—The Alder man died at his seat at Halstead, in Kent, on Friday morning last, between nine and ten o'clock; he was in his 79th year, and had been unwell for some time past. He had not been in London since he held the wardmote on St. Thomas's Day last year. He was elected Alderman of the ward of Walbrook upwards of thirty years ago; he succeeded Alderman Row croft in the year 1808, served the office of sheriff in the fol. lowing year, 1809, with the present Sir Matthew Wood, at the time Sir Francis Burdett was a prisoner in the Tower, and he was Lord Mayor in 1818. He tried to get into Parlia ment for the City, but did not succeed ' • he afterwards repre. sented the borough of Arundel in two Parliaments. He op posed Catholic Emancipation, the repeal of the Test Act, and Parliamentary Reform. At the time he was Mayor he said a communication was made to him of an intent to set the City on fire, and on his making it known his mayoralty could not have been very pleasant to him, as he was constantly reminded of it whenever he made his appearance as Mayor in public. It is said the Alderman has died wealthy. He has left an only son, and two daughters. His death, of course, has occa sioned a vacancy in the ward for the aldermanic gown ; there are two candidates, Mr. Deputy Gibbs and Mr. James Duke, M. P. BRISTOL SUGAR MARKET, OCT. 26.—Sugars are exceedingly flat, and the business of the week hardly worth notice.

Prince Napoleon Louis spent a part of Saturday in looking at some villas in the neighbourhood of the metro polis, intending to select one as a residence. The Prince intends, it seems, to leave a part of his suite at his new resi d euc e, and to go himself to Leamington, to spend a few weeks there. Three young men, employed as clerks in the offices of the Eastern Counties Railway Company at London Bridge, ab , conded a few days ago with a considerabl e sum of money belonging to the Company. They had acted in concert, and to lee left the count r y are suppesed :y NOVEL CASE Al' 130 W - STREET.—Mr. Van burgh's wonderful lions having been guilty of blocking up her Majesty's highway on the night of their removal from the Royal Amphitheatre to Drur y -lan e , an information was laid against their proprietor, and a summons issued.

BRISTOL, SATURDAY, OCT. 27.—The Great Western is again on her way across the Atlantic. She left Kingroad this afternoon at five minutes before three o'clock. She takes out about 120 passengers, and a very valuable cargo of goods, chiefly silks arid cotton goods; her freight will produce a larp.e sum to the Company on this voyage, 8001. or 9001. She eal• ries despatches for Lord Durham, and the usual quantity of letters and newspap”rs. I accompanied a large number of the passengers in the Cambria steamer from Cumberland basin ; and, in the course of the morning, the Wye, the St. David, and the Beaufort, brought the remainder of the passengers and their luggage ; in the last was Captain Hosken and the gentlemen of the Customhouse and Pest-office, with the letter-bags. Captain Hosken reached the ship at two o'clock, and in half an hour she had left her morning's moorings, Cap tain Claxton, the Managing Director, having exerted himself to get the vessel ready by the appointed hour ; and, accord ingly, five minutes within the time, she glided down the Channel in her usual gallant style. The morning was fine, but from fool the weather proved unpropitious ; nevertheless, the passengers and their friends were cheerful, and there was the usual exchange of greetings at parting. DREADFUL HURRICANE. The metropolis was last night visited by a tremendous gale from the south-west, which, we fear, has occasioned much da mage to the vessels in the river and on the coast. It rained without intermission till twelve or half-past twelve, when the wind increased to a frightful gale, sweeping over the metro polis with irresistible fury. In all the elevated and exposed situations stacks of chimneys were blown down, and slates, tiles, palings, trees, and shrubs were scattered about in every direction. On the river the damage, so far as our information has hitherto gone, has been very great, owing to the sudden. nest with which the gale set in, but happily no lives have been lost. The following accounts have been sent in from various reporters : Between two and three o'clock a violent gust blew down a large stack of chimneys at the house of Mr. Rowe, No. 59, Clarence• gardens, Regent's Park, and it falling through the roof into the tront room on the second floor, shook the house to its foundation. The inmates were instantly aroused ; but one of them, a ming man named Joseoh Casp, was missing. It was then recollected that he had that night slept in the apartment into which the stack had fallen. The doorway was found choked up with masses of brick-work, so that any en trance could not be gained. Casp was heard groaning. The fire-escape ladder, No. 2, was procured, and he was got out into the street, much injured, and removed to the hospital. In Seymour-crescent, a large portion of scaffolding erected there was blown down. Most providentially no person was passing at the time. In the Hampstead-road, a labouring man had his left shoulder dislocated—several of the houses were partially unroofed, many windows were blown in, chim ney-pots of all descriptions were dislodged, and every street in as strewed with their fragments, aiid those of tiles, slats, &c. Clarendon-square, Gower-street, Guidon and Russell squares, and the adjacent streets, pt., sent. d a simnlar appear once. In Rus'ell-square, a leaden gutter, weighing two hun dred weight, was blown from the roof of one of the houses on the North side, c mipletely ac•oss the carriage way into the garden of the square. In Compton-street, a milkwoman sus tained a severe concussion of the brain by a slate falling on her head. _ ,• Considerable sensatiQn was excitt ;I in the neighbouiho: d of Wiii.km.sti eet, Cierkunweli, by the faking of a high stack of chimneys at No. 8, which broke in the roofs of No. 9 and 10 with a tremendous crash. The police were soon on the spot, and it was discovered that at No. 9 the front room was occu pied by four children, who were sleeping in a small Waterloo bedstead, and the falling mass had completely closed them in. By the active exertions of the police they were soon extri cated, by being drawn through a small aperture, without the least injury except the fright. In the next house, No. 10, occupied by a Mr. Bennett, the tlfeczs were still more serious, the room being occupied by Mr. Bennett's daughter, who had only been confin-d a few days, who, together with her nurse and the infant, was completely buried in the ruins; and it was not until the greatest exertion on the part of her husband and the police, that they were removed from their dreadful situation without any injury. Had it not been for the miracu lous falling of one of the rafters in a slanting direction, and thereby securing the bedstead, all must have perished. At the east end of the town the accidents have been very numerous ; in the Kiugsland-road, several hundred feet of paling have been blown down. FURTHER PARTICULARS. At an early hour this morning the metropolis was visited by a dreadful hurricane from the north-west, which has caused very great devastation, particularly on the River Thames, be low London-bridge, where the destruction of property amongst the shipping, we regret to state, is immense, and attended also with loss of life. It was about half-past two o'clock when the wind became boisterous, and by three it blew a complete hurricane. In Lambeth no less than five houses were com pletely destroyed, and the inmates had a very narrow escape of their lives. During the violence of the hurricane a large portion of the wall round the Magdalen, in the Blackfriars road, was forced to the ground with great violence, but provi dentially no person was passing at the time. In the Old Kent road a whole family, consisting of five children, were buried in the ruins while in bed and asleep, from the roof falling in. Al though they were almost immediately got out, they sustained severe bruises, and one is reported to be dangerously hurt, and is now an inmate of Saint Thomas's Hospital. In the City great havoc has taken place. About four o'clock a high stack of chimneys of a ware house situated in Trinity-lane was blown down, and crushed the roof in ; another accident of a similar description is stated to have occurred in Dean-street, Farringdon-market, where the upper part of the house was carried into the street, and what is most singular, the inmates, who were in bed, also came with it, and did not receive any injury whatever I In Watling street, a stack of chimneys, belonging to the house of Mr. Newman, engraver and printer, No. 35, was blown down on the roof of St. Mary Aldermary Church, and has done con siderable damage, and likewise to the back part of Mr. Self's premises, green-grocer, which adjoins. In the course of the gale, the shop-window, with shutters, of the premises of Mr. Perring, hatter, Cheapside, was forced in, and occasioned much damage. At the West-end similar effects have taken place. In the St. James's, Regent's, and Hyde Parks, trees have been torn up by the roots, and carried by the wind to a surprising distance. Covent Garden market presented the greatest confusion ; baskets of vegetables of all descriptions were carried up into the air.for some distance. At St. Bartholemevv's Hospital several persons have been ad mitted with cut beads and extensive lacerations,from the falling of bricks and chimney pots. The accounts brought by the Planet, Diamond, and other Gravesend steamers, of the state of the river, and the effects of the storm, are dreadful. It will be severely felt by the fishermen. In the pool the damage by tiers of vessels being driven from their moorings against other tiers is verb great. We have heard of loss of life but not being eble to obtain any accurate information, it is as well to refrain from mentioning the circumstances. We fear that most awful events occurred at sea during the raging of the hurricane. This morning, between the hours of four and five, the in mates of Apothecaries' Hall were awoke from their slumbers by Ipud and repeated c) ashings, which sounded as if the whole building was being rased to the ground. They were imme diately on the alert, and on repairing to the Laboratory yard, they were struck with astonishment at its ruinous appearance. The whole of the chimneys, with the exception of what is called the Hall-chimney, having been blown down by the vio lence of the wind. The watchman was standing in the midst of the ruins, apparently petrified; his escape from destruction was truly miraculous. Not less than twelve chimneys around the building shared the same fate. CRIMINAL COURT.-(THIS DAY.) OLD COURT. David Burton, an extremely respectable-looking man, who had been in the service of her Majesty's Customs for twenty years, was indicted for an indecent assault upon Francis Clark, one of the seamen on board a vessel called the John Bull, upon which vessel Burton had been placed to detect smug gling. The evidence is totally unfit for publication. The Jury, after a consultation of upwards of an hour and a half, found the prisoner Guilty, and Mr. Sergeant ARABIN sentenced him to two years' im sonment in the Surrey County Prison. This was the last case of the Session, and the Court ad. journed to Friday at ten o'clock. NEW COURT. There having been only two cases for trial, the St. Katha rine Dock case having been put off to next Sessions, the Session was terminated, and the Recorder passed sentence upon those prioners who had not received judgment instanter. Transportation for life—C. Correy, 0. Salmon, B. Martin. For 30 years—James Smith. For 15 years—James Longforth. For 10 years—Charles Dobson, J. Taite. For 7 yearn—Millicent Alcroft, A. Stubbins, J. Tolmey, Joseph Wheeler. Imprisonment for two years—Richard Bull. For one year—J. Mumger, J. Elkins, W. Abbott, W. Tailor, R. J. Searle. Others were sentenced to minor terms of confineonlit (some solitary), and tome juvenile off_•nders were ordered to be privately whipped and discharged. The mayoralty having terminated in respect of this Court, the Court was adjourned sine die. It was, however, under stood that the Queen's judges will assemble on the 2d of No vember to appoint the sittings for the next year's mayoralty. THE CAPTURE OF REITERHOFFER.—ThiS individual, whose name has !pa:it] so frequet.tly bef;,r,• the public in cone• ction with the case of libel against the Marquis of Downshire and his family, and who has eluded the pursuit made after him since the Grand Jury returned a true bill against him, was captured last evening by Goddard, the active Bow-street ttfficer, in Arabt-lla2row, Pimlico. His trial will not take place till next S•ssions. BOW STRE',,T --(THIS DAY.) Stephen Gafitey, 10, Margaret-place, Margaret street, Spa fields, a carpenter, and Robert West, 8, Margaret-street, Sva fields, a clerk, were brought before Sir F. ROE and Mr. Tins- TI.EroN, country Magistrate, charged with being found coming out of a gentleman's chambers in Lincoln's Inn, supposed for the purpose of committing a felony. wm. Perkins, clerk to Mr. Palmer, a barrister, stated that meri srartd!n; • ' tiff:` fn.:A was to his mAster's ehamhers no Satur,a v s ix c;:, when he met tv,. of tit,' staii:, The laTilp r!,,. ,•: arid on Ids porter infurinattui, 01 Lo k.

An elderly woman, who acts .s laundress to Mr. Wain wright, proved that the prisoner Wes: had been in her nastcrt6 service. but previous to his leaving town he discharged and engaged another clerk. At the time of i:is leaving he'g ave up the key, and had no business in the chambers since. The porter of the Inn deposed that on Saturday trimming he found the skeleton lo:y produced in the garde n of the Was neW square, near to the railings, of which the prisoner West standing, when he was given into the custody of constable Bourlaridge, 26- F, and by whom another similar key was ?ther implements used in breaking open doors, found. The prisoner Chafney was also provided with chisels and and forcing the locks of desks and drawers. The prisoners gave no account of themselves, an 3 they were ordered to be brought up again on Wednesday next. • t James Reisey, who had filled the situation of csbrioie driver since his arrival in London. was charged by Mr. .11,015 Wilson, a farmer residing at Hoare, near Marlborough, 1.11 Wiltshire, with stealin a 5/. note, and a watch, his p ro p erty It appeared that the prisoner had been in the service of the prosecutor as carter, and on the 4th of May, on his go i n g to Devizes with a load of corn, he gave him a 5/. note to bring back the change, but he never returned ; and after be wa s gone he discovered that he had also taken his watch. Nothh.l further was heard of the prisoner until this morning, when was met by Shackell, wl o had previous information of the au' cumatance, and he took him into custody. The prisoner admitted his guilt, and he was o rdered to be' remanded till Thursday, when he will be conv e y ed to the county . MARYLEBONE.-(THIS DAY.) A very respectable-looking middle-aged man, dressed deep mourning, whose name was marked in the police sh eet as James Harper, was brought before Mr. RAWLINS ON Under the following truly painful circumstances: — Charles Danesbury said he was a bricklayer. On S aturel l evening, in Camden-town, he met the uofortunate indiv idua l now in the dock, walking very hurricdly towards him, wititoto his hat. He asked witness which was the wa y to tb_ canal. He informed him, but at the same time determine': to watch him - closely. After proceeding a she r " distance he pitched himself on his face into the water, when witness instantly seized him, and, after a struggle , su cceeded in holding him until a policeman arrived. Du rin g this tilne the unfortunate man frequently exclaimed, •‘ Let me go, let me go ; I did not murder my wife." Policeman, 99 S, co roborated the latter part of the witness's statement. and said he had much difficulty in endeavouring to take him to tits station-house. Mr. RAWLINSON addressed the accuse d, and asked his me: tive for thus acting ? In reply, he commenced a detail 01 private suff ling!, which, from his sobbing and emotion, wag :almost inaudible—it couldbe understood from him, howeve':, that his wife held died some three months hack. and this ,wa tation. coupled with reitnikry embarrassm.:,:its, had tends o unsettle his intellects; he expre , :a d sorrow ier his lac in% nerve to struggle against the world's woes, and L"onneevi` friends having promised to take care of him, he was !itil his liberty.
